(No fuss, no baking the filling—just creamy, tangy perfection!)

Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits)

• ⅓ cup melted butter

• 2 tbsp sugar

For the Filling:

• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

• ½ cup fresh lemon juice (about 3-4 lemons)

• 1 tbsp lemon zest

• 3 egg yolks (save whites for meringue if you want!)

• Optional: Yellow food coloring for extra vibrancy

For Topping (Pick One!):

• Whipped Cream (1 cup heavy cream + 2 tbsp sugar, whipped)

• Meringue (3 egg whites + ¼ cup sugar, whipped & toasted)

• Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)

Instructions

1. Crust: Mix crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press into a 9-inch pie dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 mins, then cool.

2. Filling: Whisk condensed milk, lemon juice, zest, and egg yolks until smooth. Pour into crust.

3. Chill: Refrigerate at least 4 hours (or overnight) until set.

4. Top: Add whipped cream, meringue (torched!), or berries before serving.
